Are you eating Fish on Good Friday?

[helgaleena]

I only just realized that Easter is coming up this weekend. I was planning to tar the roof. That's always festive.

I have a prior commitment to eating roast chicken every Friday. I do it religiously.

I do it religiously.

This is actually the correct use of the term religiously, in case anyone is tempted to be offended.

I have a bath once a month, even if I don't need it. I do it religiously.

Nope, had chicken in a wonderful Indian coconut curry sauce with basmati rice and some roasted cauliflower with mustard seeds.

Get real, fish IS MEAT! Jesus H. Christ. It's a joke to think that you are sacrificing anything by not eating red meat.

Fish is not meat, fish is seafood.

I do it out of respect for the religion that I was raised in. It really does not mean anything to skip meat for one day a year, for me it's just symbolic. Kind of like a tradition, many Jewish people and other religions have beautiful traditions that they follow and it's not a joke.

If your religion and its rituals give you meaning in life, go for it.

Unless eating fish makes you throw up. I wouldn't consider it a "sacrifice" in any sense of the word.

Started the day with a very nice shrimp filled omelet, had a tuna sammitch or two along the way, and finished off with shrimp on bun, dressed.

I had a bowl of garlic and basil pasta, no fish, unless you count the Slavin fish truck which slowly made the turn at a corner while I waited- the stench would have offended a dozen hungry cats. In fact it did, they were last seen heading to Wong Hong Lo's Chinese Pagoda Restaurant.

LOL!

I sometimes joke that for brevity's sake I tell the priest what sins I HAVEN'T committed and he can just assume that I HAVE committed all the rest.

I even went to Confession yesterday (Holy Thursday)...I gave the Priest a legal pad and told him to get comfortable. Just trying to buy points ahead of 2012.
